Clear Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers regarding joint replacement surgery, arthroscopy, and recovery

When do I need knee or hip replacement, and is it the final resort?
Joint replacement is recommended in advanced osteoarthritis or severe cartilage degradation when pain is continuous, hampers daily life, and no longer responds to medications, injections, or physical therapy. The decision is never made in a single visit, but after thorough radiological evaluation and once all conservative options have been exhausted.
How long is the hospital stay after joint replacement, and when can I walk?
In most stable cases, patients stay in the hospital for only 1 to 2 days. The patient begins standing and walking with the medical team's assistance within the first 24 hours under a structured rehabilitation protocol ensuring safe and gradual recovery.
Does all knee pain require surgery, or can it be treated without it?
Most knee issues can be effectively treated and managed conservatively through lifestyle modifications, advanced medications, targeted physical therapy, or regenerative injections. Surgical intervention is reserved for torn ligaments or structural joint damage unresponsive to conservative care.
What is the difference between arthroscopy and open surgery for sports injuries?
Arthroscopic keyhole surgery is performed through tiny incisions using a high-definition camera and precision micro-instruments. This results in significantly less pain, rapid healing, minimal scarring, and a much faster return to athletic activities compared to open surgery.
How should I prepare before visiting the clinic or before surgery?
It is recommended to bring all prior X-rays, MRI scans, lab work, and a list of any chronic medications you take. Prior to any surgery, the medical team conducts a thorough pre-operative assessment to ensure your complete safety throughout the procedure and recovery.
